As expected, SABIC continue

to trade between its two

on Saturday but failed to

decisively breach its sloping

resistance trend line. The

stock has formed a doji

candle stick pattern

indicating further side-ways

movement in the stock. The

RSI is trending higher, while

it able to decisively breach

The RSI is in rising mode,

Doji is a form of candlestick pattern. It normally suggests major up and down movements. Trading above the Doji is positive for the market. Trading below the Doji value

indicates bearish momentum.

Hammer

A small body (white or black) near the high with a long lower shadow with little or no upper shadow. This indicates a bullish pattern during a downtrend.

Inverse-black-hammer: A bottom reversal signal with confirmation the next trading day.

Moving Average, SMA (Simple Moving Average)

Normally we use the 10, 20, 50 and 125 day SMA to identify the trend. A cross-over of the short-term moving average with the long-term moving average is positive for

the market. The reverse is the case on the negative side.

DEMA - Double-smoothed Exponential Moving Average

We use the 10, 20 and 40 DEMA to identify a trend. A cross-over of the 10 and 20 DEMA gives a positive indication. A cross-over of the 20 and 10 DEMA gives a negative

indication. As long as a stock or index trades above the 40 DEMA, this gives a positive indication for the stock or index. Trading below the 40 DEMA may create downside

for a short time.

MACD - Moving Average Convergence and Divergence

The MACD has its own line period and another signal line; the dotted line indicates the signal line. When the MACD crosses the signal line from below and trades above

it, it gives a positive indication. The reverse is the situation for a bearish trend.

RSI - Relative Strength Index

When the RSI remains below 30, it indicates that a market or stock is in oversold territory. When the RSI is above 70, it indicates that the market/stock is in an

overbought level.

Price ROC

When the Price ROC is above zero it gives positive signals for an index or stock. When the price ROC is below zero, it gives a negative signal for the index or stock.

Stochastic Oscillators

When Stochastic Oscillators are below zero, the stock is in an oversold zone and some bounce back is expected. When Stochastic Oscillators are above zero, the stock is in

an overbought zone and some correction is expected.

Williams’ %R

When Williams’ %R is above zero, the stock is in an overbought zone and some correction is expected. When Williams’ %R is below zero, the stock is in an oversold zone

and some bounce back is expected.

CCI (Commodity Channel Index)

While the CCI was originally designed for commodities, the indicator also works very well with stocks and mutual funds.

There are two methods of interpreting the CCI:

1. Looking for divergences: A popular method of analyzing the CCI is to look for divergences in which the underlying security is making new highs while the CCI is failing

to surpass its previous highs. This classic divergence is usually followed by a correction in the security's price.

2. As an overbought/oversold indicator: The CCI usually oscillates between +/-100. Readings outside these ranges imply an overbought/oversold condition.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fibonacci Retracements are based on a trend line that we draw between a significant trough and peak. If the trend line is rising, the retracement lines will project

downward; if the trend line is falling, the retracement lines will project upward. The number of Fibonacci Retracement levels appearing on the chart depends on the

range of the y-axis. If we want to see all nine retracement levels, we may need to manually adjust the minimum and maximum values of the y-axis. Major Fibonacci

Levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 100%.

Whipsaw

A whipsaw is a situation in which a share price heads in one direction, but then is followed quickly by a movement in the opposite direction. The origin of the term is the

push and pull action used by lumberjacks to cut wood with a type of saw of the same name.

Gravestone Doji

In a Japanese Candle Stick chart, this is a Doji candle where prices rallied but came back and closed at the level they started; the open and close are equal.

Inside Bar

An inside bar is a bar, which is completely within the range of the preceding bar, i.e. it has a higher low and lower high than the bar immediately before it. An inside bar

indicates a time of indecision or consolidation. On a smaller time frame, it will look like a triangle. Inside bars often occur at tops and bottoms, in continuation flags, and

at key decision points like major support/resistance levels and consolidation breakouts.

Big Bar

A big bar is a bar, which is bigger than the preceding bar, i.e. it has a lower low and higher high than the bar immediately before it. Normally, after, forming a big bar, for

a coming few sessions, the stock may move in the range of the high and low of the big bar. Breaking out or breaking down will give a fresh bullish or bearish pattern.

Higher High

This implies that today’s intra-day high is higher than the intra-day high(s) of the previous session(s).

Lower High

This implies that today’s intra-day high is lower than the intra-day high(s) of the previous session(s).

Higher Low

This implies that today’s intra-day low is higher than the intra-day low(s) of the previous session(s).

Lower Low

This implies that today’s intra-day low is lower than the intra-day low(s) of the previous session(s).

Triangle

This is a technical analysis pattern created by drawing trend lines along a price range that gets narrower over time because of lower tops and higher bottoms. Variations

of a triangle include ascending and descending triangles. Technical analysts see a breakout of this triangular pattern as either bullish (on a breakout above the upper line)

or bearish (on a breakout below the lower line).

Standard Error Channel

Parallel lines drawn higher and lower from the Linear Regression Trend-line form Standard Error Channels. The distance at which they are traced is a certain

number of standard errors over or above the linear regression trend-line. The characteristic of the price fluctuations is its movement from one extreme to another and it

depends on the traders' common opinion. Prices trend up in the optimistic market whether a pessimistic one causes prices reduction. The prices are drawn to a certain

equilibrium point existing for each issue. The location of such point can be found out by using the Linear Regression analysis whether Standard Error Channel analysis

presents the data about the cyclic direction of the prices as well as the forecasts for possible trend changes.

Long Headed Doji Pattern

This is a bullish signal, particularly when around price support levels.

Double Tops / Double Bottoms

A double top is simply two peaks. After the second peak is formed a breakout through the base is a signal of a possible reversal of the trend in prices. In the case of a

double bottom, two troughs form and an expectation follow for the possibility of a trend reversal if the market price rises through the base. Waiting for confirmation is

important for trading double tops or double bottoms.
